You know Lloyd, just when I thought they couldn't get any dumber...

They go and make something like this. And totally redeem themselves!!
I thought this slightly changed quote from Dumb and dumber was fitting as a headline for my review of Pacific Rim.
This movie is about gigantic monsters attacking humans, so humans build gigantic robots to fight them back. That is the plot. And yes its dumb. Yes the effects are impressive. But good CGI does not make a good movie.
I cant think of a single good film Charlie Hunnam has appeared in in the last 5 years. King Arthur, The Lost City of Z and Triple Frontier are those I have seen. And they all suck.
Hunnam has proved that he is a good actor in Sons Of Anarchy, but he seems hell-bent on on disproving that as his performances in the before mentioned movies as well as in Pacific Rim are wooden and bad. No matter what character he plays he always seems to be Jax Teller, with a different name and a different haircut or hair color. He is basically a poor mans Christian Bale.
I cant wait for the day Hollywood realize that Pacific Rim (Dumb) and Godzilla (Dumber) based on Japanese anime and japanese movies is not the way to go, when making American movies. Most annoying part: because these movies are based on japanese cartoons and movies, were forced to deal with horrible asian actors to please the asian audience. who in part paid for these movies to be made in America with American actors. Asian actors are annoying, not only is their english inept, but so is their so called acting. This is why they dont make these movies themselves in Japan, because they know their actors suck.
Avoid this. Even if viewed as a harmless scifi movie where you check your brain at the door, you will still be annoyed and not entertained by Pacific Rim.
I give 1 star because 0 is not an option.
